Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 21:38:37 GMT

TOKYO (AP) — Japan’s once beloved table tennis star Ai Fukuhara is at the center of a child custody feud following the break-up of her marriage to a Taiwanese player who was also a star in the sport in his country.On Thursday, her former husband Chiang Hung-chieh and his lawyers demanded Fukuhara return their younger child she took to Japan last year and has since refused to send back in alleged breach of joint custody agreement.

Humans ‘never experienced a world so hot in modern history,’ scientists say

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 21:38:37 GMT

July is on track to become the world’s hottest month on record — with some scientists saying the planet may be experiencing its warmest period in about 120,000 years.  The finding, announced by the World Meteorological Organization and the EU’s Copernicus Climate Change Service on Thursday, comes as G20 climate ministers travel to India for talks on how to curb planet-warming emissions. “The soaring temperatures this July clearly demonstrate what we already know. The devastating effects of global warming are a reality,” said Denmark’s Climate Minister Dan Jørgensen. “We are not on the right track, but the G20 countries hold the power to change the course,” he added. “I strongly urge them to use that power.” Last weekend, however, G20 energy ministers were unable to reach an agreement on phasing down fossil fuels and setting a global renewables goal. Friday’s talks in the eastern Indian city of Chennai aren’t expected to yield a breakthrough, eith...

We land in Trapani, 300 kilometers west of Catania, the original destination of our flight. We were rerouted because of a fire at the airport, an issue which will also occur some days later in Palermo. It’s just the start of things to come. As the reality sinks in — that our vacation has taken us to the hottest corner of Europe, and we’ve been packed onto a cramped bus and transported across Sicily — the theme of our long-awaited Italian break emerges: Dante’s Inferno.The original plan was to stay in a century-old Sicilian villa, owned by friends of my husband’s family. But since it’s 37 degrees Celsius at night, we opt for a hotel with air conditioning after our 10-month-old son refuses to sleep. My in-laws choose to stay at the villa.The next day we decide to make the best of it ...
